Chapter 110: Severing Ties

“My mother said no, and that’s final. How can you be so unreasonable, old lady?” Bai Yan looked at Grandma Jiang with disdain.

Grandma Jiang gritted her teeth: Grandma is grandma, but you actually added ‘old’ to it???

“Get lost, little fox spirit, you’ve got Ah Yan all dizzy-headed.” Grandma Jiang didn’t intend to say more. Waving her cane, she was about to strike Bai Yan and Lady Zhao.

Lady Zhao hurriedly tried to shield Bai Yan, but Jiang Chengyan and Father Jiang both stepped forward, standing in front of them.

“Mother, whenever Third Aunt visits, I’m always with her. What you’re saying won’t happen,” Father Jiang frowned at Grandma Jiang.

“You fool, what kind of spell did your wife put on you to make you listen to her like this? I’ve got it all figured out. Last time at the village market, you were making windows for someone, but wasn’t she the only one who went to the county town? If you keep indulging her, be careful she’ll raise someone else’s child!” Grandma Jiang’s words grew harsher, making even the normally honest Father Jiang look extremely displeased.

“I won’t nag anymore. Just divorce her today and throw her into the pig cage. Then our family can have peace,” Grandma Jiang said firmly.

“Wipe your face,” Bai Yan suddenly looked up at Jiang Chengyan, her tone soft.

Jiang Chengyan turned, and Bai Yan pouted, “So many spit droplets.”

The crowd around them chuckled at Jiang Chengyan’s young wife’s remark.

“You shameless little fox spirit! Ever since you came, Ah Yan is like a useless man. Hurry up and divorce her, so she won’t do any filthy things like cheating in the future.” Grandma Jiang was now extremely hostile toward Lady Zhao and Bai Yan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

“Mother, when Third Aunt and I got married, we divided the family property. This is our own business,” Father Jiang’s voice was gentle but still firm.

“Your own family? Are you no longer part of the Jiang family? Or are you saying you want to abandon your parents for this woman?” Grandma Jiang grew angrier, swinging her cane wildly.

Father Jiang didn’t argue. Under everyone’s gaze, he suddenly knelt before Grandpa and Grandma Jiang.

At this, Lady Qian’s face darkened.

“Are you trying to sever ties with us?” Grandma Jiang looked like she was about to spit blood.

“Yes,” Father Jiang looked up.

“Look at your younger brother, and then look at you. At your age, you’ve accomplished nothing and you’ve even learned to cut ties?” Grandma Jiang pointed at Father Jiang’s nose, cursing harshly.

Her words belittled Father Jiang utterly.

“Fine, if you have the guts, then leave. I’m telling you, your younger brother is about to become an official in the county. If you cut ties with us, don’t expect a single benefit from now on.” Grandma Jiang spoke through gritted teeth.

“Mother, we never received any benefits before, and we won’t in the future either.” Lady Zhao sneered and reached out to help Father Jiang up.

But Father Jiang insisted on kowtowing three times to Grandpa and Grandma Jiang.

Seeing this, Grandma Jiang suddenly turned viciously to Jiang Youdao: “Second son, bring people to smash this place to pieces. This house is still on our old Jiang family land!”

This was a newly built house, now about to be destroyed.

Amid the chaos, Bai Yan happily bounced over to Father Jiang and Lady Zhao, sweetly saying, “Daddy, mommy, come live at my place! My home is so big!”

“The bed is so comfortable. I want to sleep with mommy,” Bai Yan joyfully hopped beside Lady Zhao.

“Shut up!” Jiang Chengyan grabbed her back, his face as dark as a pot bottom.
